does the newspaper man hang up his hat,
wipe the Precipitation from the front
plate supposed to shield the brain, and
thank the Lord that somebody has landed.
For one solid and very solid, week,
the poor devils have sharpened and
WORKOUT pencils in telling the dear pub
lie, at Ave cents per copy all that they
didn't know about who was going to be
senator. They have answered questions
by the barrelful, and have asked ques
tions four to one to what they have an
swered, all in the line of business, and
without the slightest whit of curiosity to
run up on the credit side of
individual account. SO, when the end
come yesterday, the Faberian tribe were
thankful and willing to bless the mon
who wound up the game by slipping the
Joker into Reagan's sleeve.
CLOSE GALL ON THE GUESS.
The STATEsMAN's hint yesterday morn.
ing that there would be some develop
ments gathered the clans early in the ac-
ton. Ladies crowded into the hall,
usurped the seats of the members, and
filed the place with beauty, paint, pow
der, all sorts of perfumes
and any amount of chatter and
gossip. The lobby was packed with a
miscellaneous gathering of old stagers in
politics, young devotees of the art, idlers
merely looking on, and anxious friends of
the several contestants for the lofty gift.
The whisper that rift in the cloud would
soon be seen put every one on the qui vive,
when the senate came in, and
just here, it may be iotted
down as a side glance that, while n good
deal has been said about "the solemn SEN
ate" if there is any solemnity about the
present body which answers to that name
the fact has not yet been illustriously
made apparent.
When Taylor Moore arose TO place Ter
rell in nomination the crowd was
remarkably quiet, considering, and
when he named Judge Ter
rell, there was gigantic yell went up
in hearty response to the sentiment.
Other favorites were applauded as well,
notably the old alcalde, who received com
plimentary votes on number of ballots.
Senator Pope is not given to indiscrim-
mate talking, and when he does talk it is
to the point, so when after Mr.. Moore had
nominated Judge Terrell, and Mr.. Pope
took the floor, it was known in advance
that something worth listening to would
be heard. His withdrawal of Governor
lreland's name was chaste and elegant
expression of lofty sentiment, delivered
withgracefulness and with impressiveness
The record of the balloting is to be found
in its proper place in The STATESMAN this
morning. By il will be seen the import
ant features OF the days work and the
final result. That since the result has
been reached and the end has come, all
agree to be satisfied, Is one of the bright
features of the event.
